I have decided to use this as the name of the main characters daughter in the novel I am currently writing. I forget where I saw this but I think I was thinking of another name and it had a similar look or pronunciation and so I looked up Ora and found I really love it. I however have decided to use Orah with an H at the end, because all of main characters kids have 4 letter O names. The meanings are beautiful as is the name in general. It does say it is possibly a respelling of Aura *see on list of posts* which to me seems plausible. Either way Aura and Ora / Orah are beautiful and deserve to be used a bit more. They are rare and unique but so very lovely.
